RESULTS & ANSWER KEY for Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz #257 (GOLQ257)
The Coasters achieved their first 500++ score ever, winning GOLQ257 by a nose.
The GenaTeam and the team of Randy Price and Peter Morley tied for second place,
missing only #T2. Team Teitelbaum achieved their first 500 (going back to
GOLQ004) and was joined by Will McCorry in a tie for fourth place. These two
fourth place teams were the only ones to realize that GOLQ257 is a summer rerun
of GOLQ182, from March of 2002, with different clues and different tie-breakers.
The mean and median scores for GOLQ182 were 411 and 480, respectively, while
those for this quiz were 471 and 486. This quiz had eleven fewer entrants
which may account for the higher averages.
Tom Pillion and Rick Falkenstein (the original authors of GOLQ182) have already
posted GOLQ258.

Full of jive and knows how to bop
With a hot rod Ford, cut down real low
#T1) Collins Kids, The: "I'm In My Teens" (1956) [-] {-}
I had never heard of the Collins Kids (Lorrie and Larry Collins) until I
saw them this April at the Ponderosa Stomp in New Orleans. They were full
of energy and they put on a hell of a performance from 1:00 to 2:00 in the
morning. Youtube has a clip of them performing a song called "I'm In My
Teens" on "The Steve Allen Show," but the song is different from the song
that made it onto the 1956 single.
I had wanted to use the song "Hot Rod" in the quiz but it turns out not to
have been released as a single in the GOLQ timeframe. Here's clip of them
doing "Hot Rod" on a 1957 TV show: http://youtube.com/watch?v=tD16bXzr37A.
Larry is the writer of the 1972 Tanya Tucker C&W hit "Delta Dawn," which
Helen Reddy took to #1 on the pop charts in 1973.
I wrote my baby, from Vietnam, and this is what I said:
I want to see you
You know that I want to see you
I, yes I do now, want to see you
Yes I do
#T2) Mighty Hannibal, The: "Hymn No. 5" (1966) [-] {21}
Here's another performer I hadn't heard of until I saw him at the Ponderosa
Stomp this year. During the second night of the show, I was talking to a
blind guy in his seventies standing next to me. He was hardly frail but I
was not prepared to see this same fellow on stage thirty minutes later
commanding everyone's rapt attention with a dynamic performance. He sang
several songs including "Hymn No. 5" and "Jerkin' The Dog." You can see a
clip of the latter from the show at http://youtube.com/watch?v=6G61E-7KxTU
You can also get a laugh out of this clip of him doing the song on a '60s
TV show: http://youtube.com/watch?v=mBI-CDxqu4o.
